Today we finally leave for our long holiday. We will be spending about 6 weeks travelling through and staying in France. There will be a short trip back to the UK for my mum’s 80th birthday and then a final couple of weeks during which we will drive up through Spain to take the ferry home.
I have never been away from home for such a long time before. The necessary preparations are part of the reason that I haven’t written anything for over a week. Our dynamic and sex life has taken something of a back seat. But also I have been working and that has meant I’ve had to utilise my brain (and computer) for other things. Gone are the days when I could work all day and then blog in the evening, I’ve just. been too tired.
There is still the work report to write up and I will be taking some time out next week to do that. But at least I will have pleasant surroundings to observe as I do. I’m planning to write about our travels. Also I plan to catch up with blog posts.
Diet and fitness
For once I don’t intend to drop the diet plan while away. After all 6 weeks is a long time and I am on a mission. I have now lost 5lb and and going to aim for another 7 off over the coming weeks. We will certainly be exercising plenty, so it is really what I put in my mouth that is the issue. I’m going to try to restrict the amount of bread, croissants, cheese and wine that I consume. But we’ll have to see how good my will power is.
I’m excited to be visiting lots of new cities along our journey. We also have a week’s holiday on the canal du midi. During that week we won’t have wifi and maybe that is a good thing.
No doubt there will be photo opportunities – sexy, kinky and of the scenery. I’ll be posting some here and also keeping in touch on Twitter.
So Bon Voyage to us and I’ll update soon.
Bon voyage, Julie. I hope you have a fantastic holiday ?

Thank you xx
HI! Have a great vacay. And if it helps, eating cold carbs turns a portion of the starch to resistant starch that doesn’t count towards the sugar uptake. Think cold potato / pasta salads, or bread pudding (and other desserts made with stale bread!).
Good luck!
Thanks, I remember reading that about starchy carbs. The main problem with travelling and eating out every day was the amount of salt in food which I am not really used to. It does feel good though to me mindful rather than just eat whatever I want.
